Hello, my name is Jess!
Ever since I was younger, I thought I looked okay, but as I started growing up, I found out I was developing an underbite that has been getting worse each year. I went to the dentist when I was a kid, and they told me I had to take some photos to see what they could do because they found out I was developing an underbite and my jaw was moving to one side. Once I found this out, I kept looking at myself in the mirror to see why my teeth and jaw had shifted to one side. Soon after that, I looked at myself in the mirror and saw what people saw: my jaw is on one side and not in the middle like others. This made me extremely insecure. I started covering my mouth because my teeth aren’t perfect, and neither is my jaw. The dentist said they still don’t know what they can do; they don’t know if I need braces or surgery, possibly both.
Lastly, I wanted to make this fundraiser to get some money for my underbite surgery or braces, probably even both!
